Hello all:
I'm at my wit's end with my hair. Last September I had the Rihanna cut but shaved both sides [of my hair] in May of this year. Now I'm trying to grow back the sides but the longer portion of my hair is depressing me. I relaxed too much like a fool, despite knowing better, and lost a good amount of hair. As a result I've decided to cut out heat usage and have been using curlformers/braidout methods, but I'm still noticing breakage/good amount of hair loss. I don't co-wash because I've heard it's only good if you have strong relaxed hair and I deep condition from time to time. I would air dry but my hair is a crunchy, dry mess! I've been depressed so I'm sure that is also taking a toll on my hair.
However, I come to you ladies for some advice: what products could I use to help my hair get back to its thickness? I purchased coconut oil because of the glowing reviews 2 weeks ago and have been using that on my scalp after removing the curlformers. I also need help with shine: even though I tie my hair with a silk scarf at night, when I wake up my scalp is greasy but my hair is THIRSTY! Would deep conditioning more help with this? I envy you ladies and your gorgeous hair and would love to learn some tips. Basically I just need your helperplexed.
Thanks.
